porite to kekn

Kekn,

Before even this morning the sun
had stung my eye and on my skin

a silent mosquito with no compulsion
and I'd wondered how long

the alone could last in shadows,
while we sleep or go crouching like goats--

the sun I mean-- without our blood's portion,
how long? The fresh wound wondered

but this morning there was a wolf
out front, waiting on the whitening lawn.

-Porite
